Forecasts

Feather The Nest (11/4), Brooklyn Bridge (9/2), Afriel (11/2), Sekhmet (6/1), Speechmaker (7/1), Emerald Crest (8/1), Soul Of Wit (8/1), Miss Khalifa (12/1), Samoa (14/1), Lady Nica (14/1), Pretty Jolly (14/1), Bahlebonke (18/1), Hello Happiness (22/1), Oksana (25/1), Mercer Girl (25/1), Big City Girl (28/1), Path To The Stars (40/1)

Verdict

BROOKLYN BRIDGE has put together a solid series of efforts lately and just about gets the nod in this field. Afriel is most likely the primary challenger, while Feather The Nest also requires scrutiny.

  1. BROOKLYN BRIDGE (SAF)
  2. AFRIEL (SAF)
  3. FEATHER THE NEST (SAF)
